Gigi Graham has exactly three goals: qualify for the women\u2019s national hockey team, win Olympic gold, and step out of her famous father\u2019s shadow. So far, so good, except for two little things. Fine\u2013a little thing and a big, grumpy thing. She needs to improve her game behind the net, and she needs help from Luke Ryder.
\nRyder is six-foot five, built, opinionated, rude\u2026and sexy as hell. But he\u2019s still the enemy.
\nBriar\u2019s new hockey co-captain has his reasons, though. The men\u2019s team just merged with a rival program, leaving Ryder with an angry roster where everyone hates one another\u2019s guts. To make matters worse, the summer coaching spot he\u2019s angling for with the legendary Garrett Graham is out of reach after he makes the worst possible first impression on his hero. So, really, this compromise with Gigi is win-win. He helps her make the national team, she puts in a good word with her dad.<\/p>\n

It feels so good to be back in the Briar world! Garrett and Hannah were so wonderful to see again! The off-campus series will always be a series that I will never forget. I think about these characters more than you care to know. It is really because they feel like family to me. They are my best friends and we are all one big happy family. I loved this book so much and it has easily become a new favorite. This felt like reliving a favorite memory. Like I was reading my favorite universe again for the first time, and nothing can beat that!<\/p>\n

4.5 stars for this one! This book met my expectations for sure. Entering this universe and having my absolute favorite characters back was the most heart-warming feeling possible. Garrett and Hannah as parents is everything I needed to fill my heart. And having Dean and Logan in a scene as Gigi\u2019s uncles? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.<\/p>\n
